Talent suggestions for Season 36? It’s that time again…we’re starting to generate our upcoming season’s talent wishlist. Who would you like to see on ACL this year? Our rough guidelines: needs to be an artist/band who is touring nationally or has a VERY strong regional following; has music distributed nationally (other than just digitally - i.e. we can go to a music store and purchase a CD); and should be someone who has a new record coming out and/or is touring in 2010. There should be some amount of buzz and media coverage around the band if they are up-and-coming; of course we are always looking for established legacy artists as well. Also, we try not to repeat acts we’ve already had on the show for 3-4 years.
ACL Associate Producer Leslie Nichols has been taking suggestions from her Twitter followers; here’s a list of what they’ve come up with so far. Chime in with your own suggestions! And, if you aren’t already, be sure to follow Leslie on Twitter at @TheOtherLeslie - she live tweets taping days and always has the best inside scoop on ACL.

WEEN, BABY, WEEN! They’ve been around since 1984, played the festival twice, put on the most amazing live show, and have a loyal cult fanbase. If you need any proof of their awesomeness, watch the Live In Chicago DVD, or even better, go see Gene Ween play the Cactus Cafe on Feb 25th-26th. Ween: the greatest rock band in the world. Please show these veterans the respect they deserve. Trust me. It’ll be a show the ACL Studios will NEVER forget! Thanks a lot!
I completely agree with Adam Taylor…he’s so fresh! The Gracious Few (combo of LIVE + Candlebox…oh yeah). As much as I love Them Crooked Vultures, we just saw them in 2009. Let’s find some new people to feature. Love Gomez, Gossip and Phoenix!!

I suggested Sigur Rós because I, selfishly, want to hear them in the studio with its perfect sound. No other venue in Austin can do their sound the justice that the ACL studio WILL.

Some good choices on this list, so here are some of mine.
The Apples in Stereo - they have a new album in the works to come out this year, and they have been around for 15 years…definitely a good indie band
Vampire Weekend
Tegan and Sara - got a tour coming up this year, so they could be an early season episode
Beach House - well received by critics, definitely a second act for any episode
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - new album in March, tour to follow, and a very strong indie following–could fill an episode if they wanted
Sufjan Stevens - give the guy an hour this time!!
Sonic Youth - Why not?
Sigur Ros!! - they are way off the mainstream, but they always bring their A-Game (give them an hour and be blown away)
Barry Adamson — had an album come out last year, and his jazzy-electro style is certainly different
Grizzly Gear - can’t imagine any other band that is rising faster right now
Black Lips - always entertaining, and they will keep their act clean for the TV
The Daysleepers - Granted, they are small still, but they have a good sound that might coincide with the next band on the list…..
The Verve - whether they continue their comeback is still kind of a mystery, but it could be worth some feelers.
The National - Been around for a long time, so they may have enough fans to warrant a second act
Mono - their recent album is amazing and vibrant, and instrumental rock needs someone else to represent on ACL other than Explosions in the Sky
Golden Boots - A simple shout-out for a local Tucson, AZ group….think the weird little brother of My Morning Jacket
Almost forgot…..Camera Obscura. My Maudling Career was one of the best albums of 2009.
Bon iver
The Rosebuds
The National
Yo La Tengo
Talent suggestion for season 36 of ACL: Willy Porter. This man’s song writing, singing, and guitar work can be matched against anyone you care to name. Willy Porter has slowly been gaining attention and fame and if there is a musical god, his music will reach a much larger audience. Please give this musician a listen.
Nellie McKay
CAKE
Erin McKeown

Fran Healy of Travis - he is working on his first solo album! Just finished the BEST acoustic tour - it was super intimate and reminiscent of VH1 Storytellers.

+1 for Neil Young.
Porcupine Tree. They have a great new album out, their audience grows leaps and bounds every year and they’re touring Texas in the spring.

Raphael Saadiq
Julian Casablancas
Animal Collective
Magnolia Electric Co./Jason Molina
Will Oldham/Bonnie “Prince” Billy
The Avett Brothers! They seem like a perfect ACL fit to me.
The Avetts will be on next week.
The Black Lillies (from Knoxville, TN)
Chuck Prophet (perfect for ACL)
Silversun Pickups
The Hold Steady
I forgot Rancid.
Amanda Shires
I think the Ezra Furman & the Harpoons idea is pretty great. You should go with that one.
Metacritic.com Artist of the Decade and Austin hometown heroes:
SPOON (1 hr please)
Also recommend:
Camera Obscura
The Cure (an acoustic set of old hits would be unbelievable)
Conor Oberst
Black Keys
Wolf Parade
Other Lives - Stillwater, OK
Saw them open for the Decemberists- very talented folks.
I recommend L.A. singer JONNEINE ZAPATA. Her intense stage presence has been compared to Patti Smith, PJ Harvey and Jim Morrison. Her upcoming EP is being produced by Steve Albini. See her at SXSW!
Book the Kings of Convenience and you WILL NOT be disappointed! They and the Monsters of Folk had two of the best albums I heard all year, IMHO.
-Deer Tick
-David Bazan
-Joanna Newsome
-Radiohead
-Bonnie “Prince” Billy
-Animal Collective
-Atmosphere
-Sigur Rós
-Beruit

GOV’T MULE!!!
SPOON!!!!
Bill Callahan (aka Smog)
I would like to put in another vote for Sigur Ros. This is an unbelievable band live. Their music defies classification and their range and talent seems limitless. From the simplest, most beautiful folk songs to epics rivaling the best of Pink Floyd. They are a spiritual experience for me. Check out the finale their Heima concert in Reykjavik:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH0EQm6Jmi4
Lupe Fiasco
ACL needs one jazz show every year. Maybe ‘young’ bands like: The Bad Plus, Vijay Iyer Trio, Martin Medeski & Wood. Obviously there are hosts of living legends still around who could play: Sonny Rollins, Ornette Coleman (native Texan), ect…
Guy Forsyth has paid his dues around Austin and deserves a 1/2 hour slot!!
And of course the big one: Bob Dylan has never appeared on ACL!!
Railroad Earth
Hello, LOVE the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More Jazz Please, but younger, kickass, outside the box!

For everyone voting for Sigur Ros, you all should really check out the Danish band, Efterklang. I have already added them to the list, but I am surprised more they aren’t getting more praise from the ACL viewing community. The are perfect for the show, with an unbelievable, even spiritual live presence, they will be in town for SXSW, and they have a new album to be released on Feb. 22. They are also coming into the year with tons of critical acclaim from their past 2 releases. Sigur Ros is more or less unattainable as they hardly ever tour anymore, but Efterklang is just as good or better. See them live once and you’ll be hooked.
Who doesnt love Radiohead? The Roots put on a great show. I would LOVE to see what Daft Punk does on the ACL stage. However, Yeasayer is the standout to me, new album is the tits.
Ambling Alp video:
http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/xbab94
Brett Dennen Unsure if he has record coming out tho
Stuart Davis
Willy Porter
Megafaun. Perfect band for the setting. Perfect setting for this band to be known.
Megafaun
With the doors open to rap now, why not classic hip-hop artists like De La Soul, Slick Rick, Nas, KRS-ONE, etc… Or Blackalicious(Gift Of Gab solo since they don’t work together often?).
Or just Taylor Swift and Omar and the Howlers.
This list is getting huge.
I’d love to see King’s X invited to do ACL.
They’re a Houston based trio with 15 records.
goto http://www.kingsxrocks.com for more info.
I would love to see Paul Burch and the WPA Ballclub on ACL. Paul has a great new album out, Still Your Man. They are a great act.
Thanks,
Greg Howe
Brattleboro, VT
Edwin Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Adam Ezra Group.
Collective Soul
Candlebox

THE GREENCARDS…once you have heard and seen them you will never forget…;-)
Please get the Greencards. Their harmonies are unlike anyone else out there! Any band that has thousands of fans waiting ages in line after a set at Winfield just to get a cd will be a hit on ACL.

There are already some pretty fabulous suggestions so I’ll leave it at that.

The Greencards would do a great show!
Yes, The Greencards!
No question! The Greencards need to play!
The Greencards would be a excellent choice. They have a big following in Austin, Texas in general and all over the country from coast to coast. The Greencards, you will be glad you booked this group.

Hi Leslie!
You’ve never done a show on Christian worship artists. A number of innovators who greatly influenced worship music are from Texas!
Paul Baloche - a long time worship music influencer, songwriter, encourager and teacher. He was the first I know of to put up videos to show people how to play his music (in any genre). He is also one of the few people I know of that can hold the attention of 100K people with just him, his guitar, and the presence of God that he carries. http://www.leadworship.com
David Crowder Band- very ACL eclectic mix of acoustic meets electronica meets deeply thoughful lyrical concepts… “beautiful collision” http://www.davidcrowderband.com
Chris Tomlin - positive influencer, especially for young adults and teens, songwriter, very effective worship leader, trendsetting music and lyrical content. Deeply cares about young people (picked them up at airport and then saw how they interacted with the youth and young adults).
http://www.christomlin.com
Rita Springer - Rita is now living in NC but she is an amazing worship leader who hugely impacted me by her genuine, deep intimacy with God that is journaled and shared in her songwriting, teaching and worship leading.
http://www.ritaspringer.com
Those would be my Texan picks!
Thanks, Leslie!
Grammy nominees The Greencards
Josh Ritter
Already a fantastic list! I would highly recommend RYAN BINGHAM for ACL!
The Greencards!!
My favorite group THE GREENCARDS!!! So talented and fun to watch.
Cadillac Sky - http://www.CadillacSky.net
These guys have the ability to blow away even the most seasoned concert-goer with their live shows, and at the end of the night, leave their audience with the distinct feeling that they have just witnessed one step in the early stages of something huge. An incredible amount of energy, love, and determination is put into everything they do - from performances and recordings, to fan interaction - and it certainly shows. Their upcoming album, “Letters In the Deep” is sure to be an unprecedented treat for music lovers everywhere, regardless of genre preference. It will be their third full-length album, and was produced by none other than Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys/Blakroc).
Cadillac Sky is an exceptionally talented group that is not to be missed.
The Farewell Drifters! My favorite. and a new album coming out.
Cadillac Sky! A live show that will completely change what you think about string bands. And a Texas band to boot!
The Infamous Stringdusters. 6 of the hottest young players that you will hear anywhere. New record comes out in April.
Another vote here for the Greencards too.
Cadillac Sky
The Farewell Drifters
Both outstanding groups!!!
1. The Grascals
2. Dailey and Vincent- one of the hottest bluegrass acts out right now
3. Carrie Hassler and Hard Rain (amazing vocalist)
4. Mountain Heart- totally awesome group- more like BluesGrass than anything else. And so much fun to watch.

Cadillac Sky is the band I would love to see on Austin City Limits! They really bring a live show as well as a great sound, I would think that ACL would benefit by their show. C-sky is genre transcending and would bring a younger group of followers to Austin City Limits.

I can’t believe I went through this entire list and not one mention of Cross Canadian Ragweed. I agree on Hubbard, Seth James, all Texas Red Dirt needs to be represented!!
These have been mentioned, but let’s pair em up:
CADILLAC SKY with either The BLACK KEYS (producer Dan A.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Rm4BJJwJm8&NR=1 or
The GREENCARDS (shared/swiped fiddler Ross)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MjeJmdJ9wQ
OR a Paint It Black show with
The BLACK KEYS and The BLACK LILLIES http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9ZmiNMoMG&feature=related
Gotta Get The INFAMOUS STRINGDUSTERS - pair them with The BOXCARS http://bluegrassmusicprofiles.com/the-boxcars
Also like Mark Grosz’s Christian worship ideas. I’ll add
ASHLEY CLEVELAND (whose husband Kenny Greenberg is one of the best guitarists in ANY genre)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JopexDmbTc
The Farewell Drifters!!!!! Amazing Group!
tom meny and The Swell Season!
Cadillac Sky! Hands-down the BEST concert I’ve ever witnessed. Absolutely Beautiful!
Please consider Cadillac Sky! They are hands down one of the best live Newgrass acts on the scene. Lots of energy and fun, fronted by one of the best voices I’ve heard.
Gillian Welch and Kevin Rawlings
Buddy and Julie Miller
Justin Townes Earle (would have been cool to have him with Steve this year.)
Guy Clark and Lyle Lovett haven’t been on in a while, have they? If not, definitely. Has Levon Helm been on?

I definitely vote for The Farewell Drifters. I love to listen to this group!
Always refreshing … The Farewell Drifters!!
Tim O’Brien
Laurie Lewis
The Farewell Drifters are a wonderful newgrass group — talented instrumentalists, good songwriters, and they resist the all too frequent jam band impulse.
I’d also love to see Pokey LaFarge (an absolute original and a force of nature — he’d be amazing television viewing) and Memphis’ own Bluff City Backsliders, a mixture of jug band, old time blues, and raw energy.
the greencards with cadillac sky or maybe a little reckless kelly or ….nah …that’s enough …
How about Over The Rhine?
I’d also suggest Monsters of Folk.
I second Charlie Parr and would like to suggest Trampled by Turtles. Both have a solid regional following and have been touring nationally and internationally for years!
FAREWELL DRIFTERS!
I suggest Rodrigo y Gabriela. They are on tour. Amazing sound!
Gary Allan
Cadillac Sky, Joe Craven, Crooked Still?? Buddy & Julie Miller?
I will be watching with anticipation to see who is chosen!!
Gary Allan definitely!!
Would absolutely love it if Gary Allan was showcased…no one compares to him!
So Would Love To See Gary Allan — He’s So Awesome !!
Gary Allan.. Gary Allan.. Gary Allan.. Gary Allan.>>> He’s The BEST!

iron & wine, jack johnson, bon iver, john butler, who needs shoes, shane phillips, silversun pickups…
woudl love to see kings of leon and dave matthews again
Gary Allan is the most under rated artist in country music. ACL would be a perfect place to showcase his ability to perform live. This man deserves to be noticed. He puts on the best live show EVER!

Dave Matthews Band
the Killdares
The Killdares! They would be a perfect band for your show. They feature a fiddler who will knock your socks off… the 2005 National Grandmaster Roberta Rast, a regular participant in the Texas Old-Time Fiddler’s association.
Theirs is a unique sound that will be a treat for your audience… book ‘em… you will not regret it!
I agree, seeing The Killdares would rock
Yes! I agree with Rob above & all the others - Killdares would be fabulous!
Yes! The Killdares!
The Killdares…without a doubt.
The Killdares are the perfect blend of folk and rock…who knew mixing bagpipes, fiddle and rock could be so cool, and they’re from Texas too!
The Killdares!
THE KILLDARES
The Killdares for sure! Also Austins own Ruben V
The Killdares have been rocking DFW for over 10 years, a vivacious refreshing band playing primarily original music, and the covers they do they do with a unique style. Their local shows attract viewers of all ages, I’m as comfortable taking my grandchildren as a date. I’m sure PBS viewers of all ages would really enjoy the show.
The DMB episode that kicked off season 35 will repeat on May 22.
Killdares!

The Killdares would be a great addition to ACL. While maybe not “traditional” Texas music, their mix of celtic and rock sounds is fantastic!
The Killdares. They are the most unique band in Texas.
Good point. Need to get the Killdares. Celtic Rock sounds and the best band in DFW by far.
Killdares would be great. They bring a great rock sound that all ages enjoy.
The Killdares for sure! Celtic Rock and they do it best!
